Infamous or Batman AA? - Blu-ray Forum

maverick22 · 10-22-2009, 04:53 PM

Someone near me is selling Infamous for $30 on Craigslist. I have had my eye on this game but just waiting for a really good deal. As I have mentioned before, I am a beginner when it comes to games though.

Which would ya'll recommend: Infamous or Batman AA? I've heard great things about both but unfortunately don't have enough $ for both.

Is one a little easier than the other? Is Infamous a little too repetitive? I've looked at some trailers & it looks like Batman may have a little more variation to it? What do I know though--ha ha.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Batman AA for sure...

second that Infamous was fun for about an hour, Batman was good through the entire game!

Batman by a longshot even though it's a game that will be beaten in 3 days.

Agree... but it's a hell of a game!

To me it has more replay value than Infamous...

Another vote for Arkham Asylum!

I haven't played the full game of Batman so I can only recommend inFAMOUS as one of the best games released this year and the only open-world city game with satisfying, decently challenging platforming with a nice flow from rooftop to rooftop.

I beat the game twice within a few weeks which is pretty rare for me.

Ha ha if it takes you guys 3 days to beat it, it would probably take me 3 weeks!

Thanks for everyone's suggestions. At least on this forum, Batman AA is the clear winner. I thought Infamous was getting praised & getting nods for game of the year though?

Shin-Ra · 10-22-2009, 06:59 PM

Batman's fresher in people's minds.

And I think when a licensed game turns out good or even great, fans of the property outside of gaming are naturally more enthusiastic.

Infamous is definitely a clever take on a sandbox game, and there is certainly fun to be had in it--particularly, the platforming mechanics are outstanding and it has good explosions

At the end of the day, though, there came a point in Infamous where I really just wanted the game to end--mostly due to the repetition in the missions and so forth. Whereas with Batman, I was left wanting more (which Batman provides with challenge modes, DLC, etc.).

Overall, I think Batman had a better shot at name-your-GOTY-award, but Uncharted 2 rather makes that whole discussion moot, I think.

Having played the demo for both I purchased Batman :AA, just a better all around game in my opinion.

If you grew up watching the Batman cartoon series then go with Batman, if not then I'd say INFamous.

Illest Villain · 10-22-2009, 05:13 PM

Get InFAMOUS and then when you have enough for Batman: AA it should be lower than 60 dollars.

Blu-Ron · 10-22-2009, 05:15 PM

Download both demo's and give 'er a whirl. I prefer BATMAN by a longshot!

Sponge-worthy · 10-22-2009, 05:19 PM

I thought Batman was decidedly better.

nathanp · 10-22-2009, 07:13 PM

Batman: Arkham Asylum would be my choice of the two, it's just an awesome game and I guarantee that as soon as you've finished it, you'll be dying for a sequel.
